Hello again..
My current CL partner works part time, which she has done since about 6 months after our 2nd was born. (4yrs ago).
She's a server at a restaurant, so her "on-paper" pay is much, much lower than her actual bring home amounts.
I've been keeping somewhat track of what her tips are per-shift, and plan to submit that into any negotiations on support (particularly spousal).
My question is this:
I know that she can easily increase her hours/week, or shifts that she works, but will the courts see it that way?
I work a steady m-f job, and my employer has let me know that they will allow me to modify my work week, allowing me to schedule around the children's school schedule.
I'm planning on pursuing custody Tues-Sat, with her having them on Sunday/Monday. Especially since her shifts are typically evenings and Saturdays, will I get support from the courts in this position? Or will they say that it's unreasonable to expect her to work more?
